Freezer compartment en-us
WFreezer compartment
Freez er compar t ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■ storing frozen food
■ making ice cubes
■ freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods long-term almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low
temperatures considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable
ingredients are largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
■ temperature set
■ type of food
■ amount of food in the freezer compartment
■ quantity and type of storage
Fully utilizing the freezer volume
To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the
freezer compartment:
■ Remove all fittings.
■ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor
of the freezer compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
■ Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must
be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in
the freezer compartment quickly.
When loading products
■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top
compartment.
This is where it will freeze especially quickly and
gently.
■ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen
food containers.
■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into
contact with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
■ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the
appliance:
push in frozen food containers up to the limit
stop.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable
for freezing than food which is eaten raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate
to the food in order to retain the best possible
nutritional value, flavor and color:
■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add
sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in
relevant literature.
Suitable for freezing
■ Baked goods
■ Fish and seafood
■ Meat
■ Poultry and game
■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs
■ Eggs without shells
■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark
■ Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews,
cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts

■ Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw,
e.g. lettuce or radishes
■ Unpeeled or hard-boiled eggs
■ Grapes
■ Whole apples, pears and peaches
■ Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche
and mayonnaise
Packing frozen food
The correct type of packaging and material selection
are decisive factors in the retention of the product
quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor
or drying out.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of
freezing.
Suitable packaging:
■ Plastic foil
■ Tubular foil made of polyethylene (PE)
■ Aluminum foil
■ Freezer containers
Thawing frozen food
The thawing method must be adjusted to the food
and application in order to retain the best possible
product quality.
Thawing methods:
■ In the refrigerator compartment (especially
suitable for animal-based foods such as fish,
meat, cheese)
■ At room temperature (bread)
■ In the microwave (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
■ In the oven/cooker (food for immediate
consumption or immediate preparation)
9 CAUTION
Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed
food.You can only refreeze food once it has
been cooked (boiled or fried).
The frozen food can no longer be stored for the
maximum duration.
Suitable closures:
■ Rubber bands
■ Plastic clips
■ Cold-resistant adhesive tape
Unsuitable packaging:
■ Wrapping paper
■ Greaseproof paper
■ Cellophane
■ Garbage bags and used grocery bags

;Ice and water dispenser
Ice and wat e r di s penser
You can use the ice and water dispenser to
dispense:
■ cooled water
■ crushed ice
■ ice cubes
Before using the appliance for the first time
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY!
Never reach into the dispenser opening of the
ice cube container.
9 CAUTION
Do not place bottles or food in the ice cube
container. This can block and damage the ice
maker.
Notes
■ The ice and water dispenser only works when the
appliance is connected to a drinking water
pipeline.
■ For hygiene reasons, dispense water for
5 minutes and discard.
When the appliance has been connected, there may
be air in the water circuit. Keep dispensing water
until there are no more air bubbles in it.
■ It takes approx. 24 hours until the first serving of
ice cubes is ready.
For hygiene reasons, discard the ice cubes
produced within the first 24 hours.
Information on operation of the ice maker
Ice cube production starts as soon as the freezer
compartment has reached the set temperature.
The ready ice cubes are automatically discharged
into the ice cube container.
Ice cube production stops as soon as the ice cube
container is full.
Note: You can accelerate ice production by setting a colder freezer compartment temperature. This will slightly increase energy consumption.
Dispensing ice and water
Notes
■ To prevent the ice from falling on the floor, hold
the glass directly under the dispenser when
dispensing crushed ice.
■ To prevent water damage, the water dispenser
automatically stops after 30 seconds of
continuous dispensing. If you want to dispense
more water, wait 5 seconds and then press the
button again.
■ The dispensed water is cooled to a palatable
temperature. To obtain a colder drinking
temperature, put additional ice cubes in the
glass.
■ The water may become warmer when dispensing
large amounts of water.

2. Keep pressing the dispensing button until the
required quantity of ice or water is in the glass.
Observing drinking water quality
All materials used in the ice and water dispenser are
odorless and tasteless.
If the water has an aftertaste, this may be due to the
following causes:
